How to Check DHA Exam Result 2026 – Sheryan Pass/Fail Guide

Quick answer

To check your DHA exam result, use Sheryan portal login at services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan (same credentials as Prometric registration). Open your exam application — CBT status is Pass or Fail, with no numeric score. Results typically upload within 2 working days; Prometric also emails the address on your Sheryan profile.

This page explains how to check your DHA exam result, what the DHA score report format actually shows, and what to do next after Pass or Fail. To avoid duplication with pass-rate guidance, this page focuses on result workflow and interpretation only.

How to check DHA exam result step by step

  1. Sign in to DHA Sheryan

    Open services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan and log in with the same credentials you used for your Prometric exam registration. Your exam application dashboard shows the current status once processing is complete.

  2. Open your application status

    Navigate to your Prometric exam application. The result appears as Pass or Fail under the Exam Result section — numeric scores are not displayed for CBT candidates. Keep your application reference number visible in case of support queries.

  3. Confirm email notification

    Check the email address on your Sheryan profile — DHA and Prometric send result notifications from noreply@dha.gov.ae or the Prometric testing partner. Also check spam and promotions folders to avoid missing the alert.

Result timeline and delays

Typical DHA Prometric result timeline

For CBT candidates, DHA guidance indicates electronic upload in approximately 2 working days. Practical timelines can still vary during high-volume periods or holidays.

If your result is delayed beyond normal processing windows, verify details in your Sheryan account first, then contact DHA support using your exam/application identifiers.

How to interpret DHA score report correctly

  • In DHA CBT guidance, the result is communicated as Pass or Fail.
  • Individual numeric marks are not usually displayed in that result format.
  • Pass means you can proceed to licensing pathway steps applicable to your title and employer flow.
  • Fail means you should review policy, improve preparation, and rebook under current DHA rules.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check my DHA exam result?

Use Sheryan portal login at services.dha.gov.ae/sheryan with the same credentials as your Prometric registration, then open your exam application status. DHA and Prometric also email result updates to the address on your Sheryan profile.

How long does DHA result take after Prometric exam?

DHA professional assessment guidance states CBT exam results are electronically uploaded in Sheryan within about 2 working days. Timelines can still vary in specific operational scenarios.

Does DHA share exact score in the report?

The DHA CBT guideline states result status is updated as Pass or Fail in Sheryan, and the applicant score is not shared in that format.

What should I do after a Pass result?

After Pass, continue with the remaining DHA licensing pathway steps in your account, including eligibility and employer-side licensing actions as applicable to your title.

What if my DHA result is Fail?

If result is Fail, review your attempt policy for your profession and re-plan preparation before booking another exam slot. Always follow current DHA rules for your category.

Continue DHA Licensing Process

DHA Dubai licensing in context

The Dubai Health Authority regulates healthcare professionals in the Emirate of Dubai — distinct from DOH (Abu Dhabi) and MOHAP (Northern Emirates). Your job offer location determines which regulator applies; switching emirates later usually requires a new profile and may require another assessment.

Sheryan is the unified portal for eligibility, verification status, exam authorization, and license lifecycle events. Bookmark official DHA communication channels rather than relying on third-party WhatsApp groups for policy updates.

  • Dubai facility activation requires employer sponsorship
  • DataFlow PSV is the standard primary-source verification route
  • Prometric delivers the computer-based assessment for most medical titles
  • Pass/Fail results update in Sheryan — not numeric score reports for most categories

Pair administrative milestones with MCQ volume

Doctors who treat verification as a months-long project while maintaining daily timed practice rarely arrive at Prometric under-prepared. Use GulfMedExams DHA MCQs once your Sheryan profile is active so administrative delays still advance clinical readiness.

Reading your DHA result in Sheryan

After your Prometric sitting, DHA typically updates your profile within a few working days with a Pass or Fail outcome — not a numeric percentage on the public candidate view. Log into Sheryan with the same credentials used for exam registration and open the assessment or licensing section tied to your application.

If you pass, the portal usually unlocks the next administrative steps: medical fitness (if not already completed), malpractice insurance where required, and facility activation once an employer sponsors your license. If you fail, note the retake waiting period shown in your profile before paying for another attempt.

  • Screenshot your Pass/Fail status and payment receipts for HR records
  • Do not assume silence means failure — check spam filters for DHA email alerts
  • Employers often request a Pass confirmation before issuing an offer letter addendum

DHA regulatory reference — Dubai emirate specifics

The Dubai Health Authority regulates independent healthcare practice within the Emirate of Dubai. It is separate from the Department of Health (DOH) in Abu Dhabi and from MOHAP licensing for Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. Your offer letter emirate determines which regulator you pursue first — switching later requires a new application even when exams look similar.

Sheryan (often called DHA Connect) hosts eligibility questionnaires, primary-source verification status, exam authorizations, and license lifecycle events. Keep the email tied to your profile active; password resets during verification windows delay query responses.

Dubai facilities activate licenses after you pass assessment, complete medical fitness at approved centres, and satisfy malpractice insurance rules tied to your employer. Locum contracts and visit arrangements do not replace full DHA licensure for unsupervised clinical duties.

  • Scope: Dubai emirate facilities under DHA oversight
  • Assessment: Prometric CBT for most physician categories
  • Verification: DataFlow PSV is the standard document route
  • Results: Pass/Fail recorded in Sheryan for many titles
  • Sponsorship: employer-linked activation after Pass
  • Renewal: CME credits logged before license expiry
  • Language: patient-facing Arabic helps clinically but exam language is English
  • Reciprocity: other UAE licenses may require reassessment when transferring

DHA Prometric exam — parameters to plan mocks around

GP physician categories sit for 150 single-best-answer MCQs in a 3-hour computer-based session, with an officially published pass score of 60%, per the DHA CBT guideline (updated May 2026). Individual candidates are not shown their own numeric score — only Pass/Fail in Sheryan. There is no penalty for wrong answers — unanswered items at timeout count as incorrect.

Prometric centres enforce biometric check-in and provide a whiteboard or note sheet depending on location. Flag-and-review lets you revisit marked questions within the same session if time remains; practice this workflow in timed mocks so it feels automatic on exam day.

  • Book only when Sheryan shows active exam authorization
  • Bring passport matching Sheryan profile exactly
  • Arrive 30 minutes before appointment start
  • Expect clinical stems across medicine, surgery, paediatrics, and OBG for GP
  • Plan two travel days if testing outside Dubai

Study volume benchmarks reported by DHA candidates

Candidates who pass on the first or second attempt commonly report 3,000–6,000 MCQs completed with explanation review, not merely answered. Volume without review plateaus around 55–60% mock accuracy; logging why distractors fooled you adds the last 10–15 points needed for comfortable Pass margins.

Working doctors often schedule 40–60 MCQs on weekdays and one 100–150 question mock on weekends for 10–12 weeks. Full-time study can double weekday volume — adjust using mock trends, not guilt.

In the final week, reduce new topic introduction. Sleep regularisation matters: Prometric sessions start at fixed appointment times regardless of your night-shift recovery from hospital duties.

  • Target 70%+ on three consecutive mixed mocks before booking
  • Re-do missed questions after 48–72 hours
  • Keep a one-page error sheet updated after every session
  • Simulate full 150-question length at least four times

Official source reminder

Figures and policies change. Confirm your profession category, fee schedule, and document list in Sheryan (DHA Connect) before paying verification or exam fees.

DHA — practical notes for doctors

This page supports one part of your Dubai, UAE licensing journey. Combine it with official Dubai Health Authority communication, your employer HR checklist, and consistent MCQ practice before the Prometric sitting.

What to verify on official channels

Before acting on any third-party guide (including this one), confirm your profession category, document list, and fee schedule directly with Dubai Health Authority. Policies in Dubai, UAE are updated without always being reflected in older blog posts.

If your profile involves gaps in practice, multiple registrations, or credentials from several countries, expect additional review steps — generic checklists may not cover your case.

Next step — exam practice

Turn licensing research into exam-ready performance

Reading guides alone rarely converts to exam performance. After you confirm Dubai Health Authority requirements, use GulfMedExams to drill Prometric-style MCQs with explanations, track weak systems, and revisit high-yield topics before booking your slot.
